Having nothing to do, he 'was good
for nothing. Ana how could he amuse
himself? When a mai^is poor, the ef
forts necessary to him, his humble dis
couragements and joys,-his disappoint
ed hojies, are occupation enough for
his mind. But it is quite otherwise to
the man who lacks nothing. Agreea

all a man want, but they are not WJ
satisfying. To begin over again every

He was mechanically following the

day, when he heard two full, joyous,

soon learned that they were provin

“A thousand thanks, sir," said Ma
dam Dnl&urier, surprised and charmed
by the young man’s grace of manner.
He offered to show them the wav to
the fountain, and with much ga?ety
and kindly feeling they sot out to
gether.
Louise and Louisetto walked a little
in- advance of their parents and La-
onco. t-
“Do you not think." said Louise,
“that this gontliman resembles won
derfully the one that was iu the res-
taurant. with us?”
"Why certainly not!” replied Lou-
isette. “All Parisians look alike.”
But she blushed as she spoke.
When they reached the fountain
they were already acquainted, and
were mutually pleased. They would
soon boyfriends if circumstances fa
vored.
"Oh! father,” said Louise, "instead
of returning to that tiresome Paris, let
us stay here till evening.”
"Till evening? My deal, it is im
possible. We do noi know the ways,
and we have no ulnoo to din*.”
“If that is all, Leonco bastenod to

arbors, flowers and louutains, where
we can diue even better than in Paris.
It may be that my society is not agree

these ladies is so much to my taste that
1 should l»e very sorry to leave you.”

to sec anil do every thing, but they

An idea dashed into Loonce’a mind
like lightning. “I do not know what

be interesting, I will follow them all

"And I, sir,” said M. Dulaurier,* ‘am
Adolphe Dulaurier, old notary; these
are my wife and our daughters."
In an hour they wore seated in the
arbor promised by Loonqe, and were
altogether friends. Leonce had ac
cepted with warm gratitude an invita
tion from Madame Dulaurier to visit
them at tb«ir Flemish village home.
"Do you not think," whispered I>ou-
ise to Louisette. “that father and
hiother became friends fefy easily and
quickly with this stranger?"
"Why no,” replied'Dc
perfectly natural.
Two months later Leonco alighted
at tho railway station, Donia and M.

Ho now had time to appreciate M. Du-

young man as ho really was—simple,

Leonce was received with tho most
demonstrative joy by Mwe. Dulaurier,
With a,oo«diad salutation by Louise,

in consideration of hD guest’s fatigue,
conducted him l* his room at once.
Leohce set himself to opening his
trunks and portmanteaux. At length
he drew from a portfolio a letter daint
ily folded and perfumed, and began to
read aloud, as follows:

At the end of a rew seconds he knock

with Leonce still ip tow.
Lreaoe 'found' him*eif in the pres

and two ns those of Vaa der Velde,
and who were all acquainted with the
.fifi^se of the duel, as Van der Velde
explained.
“But,” objected Leonce, “man do
not fight thus without a motive.—"
“Ah-ha, Parisian) Perhaps, then,

Leonce was bravo enough, and did
not allow Van der Velde to liuish his
sentence.

At the end of a few moments’ sffiJ

The four witnesses chose a spot, and set
the giant and the young man in their
places.
Leonce was a very pretty fencer, and
parried tho tirst blows very successful
ly, even scratching his adversary’s
hand.
The Cyclops, furious at his wound,
falling upon Leonco with the force of
a wild bull, pierced tho young man’s
arm through and slightly wounded
him u\ the breast. Horribly pale, Lo-
once fell to the earth.
Van der Velde rushed to bis side,
and examined his hurt with anguish.
"Maladroit that I am!” bo cried, fft
a trembling tone; “1 meant omy to
touch his arm, aud his breast is wound
ed!’’
Leouce held out his hand.
"IVhy tho devil, then, did you write
love letters to my wife?” cried Van
der Velde. "And what a silly action
to throw the letter into her room! 1
picked it ap myself.”
“What!" murmured Leones. "Lou

girl 17! Well, sir, 1 concratulato you;

When consciousness returned Mon

Louisetto was watching him with a
pale and anxious face.
“Ah!” murmured poor Van der

he had designs on my peace of mind.
Otherwise I should have strangled

lovo my wife had seen was in reality a
pinch of phosphorus.
"Googles then knew that he had
hoeu discovered as a fraud, and no
longer dissembled. His good manners
at once took wing. Hu deserted the
parlor and his good mistress for Tren
ton sausages and the cook. His tastes
were low and he sought the festivities
of the realms of the hasemont When
he had stuffed himself out with good
cheer until he could hardly waddle he
would go and look at himself in the
burnished convex boiler to elongate his
figure. He is up to all sorts of games,
and for a small dog can purloin more
meat from the butchur's and hide it on
his persou than a melancholy Dane.
His thirst is of the best order, too; he
is a terror oo the heeltaps ia the de
canters.
"One night Googles was decidedly
groggy, and in a beastly frame of
mind. lie had been InihTfig Tr several
days, and was 'off his feed.’ Ho had
been offered saddle of mutton and
roasted Gurritnck widgeon for dinner,
all to no good, lie began to seethinga,

bit my leg and wont whooping off
When 1 reached the club some one
said, *Charley Lanjan’s got ’em bad;

“My wife came home one day and
said that there was to be a dog-show,
and that she had entered Googles, and
wanted me te fix ep a pedigree right
straight off. I did it. I copied most
of it out of Burke's Peerage, adopting
only the Christian names. It took bet

“Now that Googles has become a

boys, who sleeps in a room next to
mine, called mo about 12 o’clock ou*
night and said something had struck
him on the head, and I satfc a bat fly

I struck at the bat I didn't hit him.
1 struck again several times and didn’t
jrct him. Then my boy said: 'Papa,
have you got him? I could have caught
him thyself in this time.’ Then I rot
mad, and I slung the Spread around at
the bat again, bnt instead of bitting
him 1 knocked every ornament qff th*
nftmtlopiec* and broke the globes on
foe *1 ande Her. Then I wa* madder
than before, and 1 tried to fall on the
bat as ho came near the floor, and I
fell over a chair and broke font All

open the shatters and let toe bat out,
and don’t tear the hoase down.’ That
made mo -t'lL worse, and makingades-
perat ' p.unge I got the spread
b iu and floored him. The bat squeal
ed, and l was afraid to put my baud
under the spread find take him out.
Finally, I got my Wife to bring me an
old buckskin glove, and I got him out
and held him in a bucket of water un
til I drowned him. Reckoning dam
ages, I suppose that bat cost me about
fife, and I intend to hold on to It until
